Reverse
To change to reverse gear, lift the ring
under the gear lever knob and push the
gear lever to the left then to the front.
Reverse gear can only be engaged
when the vehicle is stationary with
the engine idling.
When the vehicle is being
driven, the displaying of this
screen indicates that the
handbrake is still on or has
not been properly released.

when stationary.
"CVT" GEARBOX "CVT" GEARBOX
The six-speed automatic gearbox of-
fers a choice between the comfort of
automatic regulation or the pleasure of
manual gear changing.
This gearbox enables you to access
two driving modes:
- an automated mode for automatic control of the gears by the gearbox
and therefore without any action on
the part of the driver,
- a sequential mode for manual changing of the gears by the driver
using the steering wheel controls or
the gear lever.
It consists of the following controls:
- a gear lever 1 on the centre console
for selecting the driving mode, reverse
gear and neutral or for changing gear
in sequential mode,

Gear lever positions
N : neutral.
With your foot on the brake, select this
position to start.
R : reverse gear.
With the vehicle stationary, keep your
foot on the brake pedal and push the
gear lever upwards.
D : automated mode.
Move the lever downwards to select
this mode.
+/-: sequential mode with manual gear
changing. Functions of the steering wheel
controls
+ :
manual gear changing in sequential
mode.
Press behind the "+" steering wheel
control to change up.
- : manual gear changing in sequential
mode.
Press behind the "-" steering wheel
control to change down. Stopping - Starting on a slope
Do not use the accelerator pedal to
immobilise the vehicle on a slope,
apply the handbrake instead.
When starting on a slope, accelerate
gradually while releasing the handbrake.
Switching to sequential mode
Once you have moved off, you can
switch to sequential mode by selecting
position +/-.
"D" disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession on the instrument
panel display.
The gear change requests are only car-
ried out if the engine speed permits it.
- a
"-" steering wheel control 2 for se-
quential downward gear changes,
- a "+" steering wheel control 3 for
sequential upward gear changes.

Start the engine. "N" appears on the in-
strument panel display.

Release the handbrake.
Release the brake pedal then accelerate.
"D" or "1" or "R" appear on the instru-
ment panel display.
Move the lever downwards, then to the
left to select this mode, then:
- push forward to change up,
- push rearward to change down.

DRIVING
Switching to automated mode
Automated mode
After using the sequential mode, you
can return to the automated mode by
selecting position D .
"D" appears on the instrument panel
display.
The gearbox then operates in auto-ac-
tive mode, without any action on the
part of the driver.
It continuously selects the gear most
suited to the following parameters:
- driving style,
- road characteristics,
- vehicle load.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations
in the pressure on the accelerator pedal. "Auto sequential" mode
In the automated mode, you can resume
control temporarily at any time using the
steering wheel controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster changedown than
t h a t o f f e r e d i n a u t o m a t e d m o d e ( a r r i v a l
at a roundabout, exit from a car park
with a steep gradient, overtaking...).
The gearbox engages the gear requested
if the engine speed permits it. The gear
engaged appears.
To return to the automated mode, press
the back of the
"+/OFF" control for ap-
proximately 2 seconds.
Stopping the vehicle
Before switching off the engine, you
can:
- move to position N to leave the
gearbox in neutral.
- l e a v e a g e a r e n g a g e d , s u c h a s fi r s t or reverse.
In both cases, it is imperative that you
apply the handbrake to immobilise the
vehicle. Operating anomaly
With the ignition on, if the message
"Slow down" or "Maintenance re-
quired" appears on the multifunction dis-
play, this indicates a gearbox malfunction.
When a message is displayed, carry
out the following operations:
- slow down and stop your vehicle in a safe place,
- place the lever in position N and let
the engine run,
- open the bonnet to allow the engine to cool.
If the message disappears for a long
period, you can set off again.
If the message remains displayed or ap-
pears frequently, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer without delay.
Take your foot off the accelerator pedal
gently to engage the gear.
At low speeds, when approaching a
s t o p o r t r a f fi c l i g h t s f o r e x a m p l e , t h e

Operating faults
If the selected transmission mode dis-
p l a y fl a s h e s , t h e v e h i c l e s w i t c h e s a u t o -
matically to front "2WD" transmission
mode.
It is then no longer possible to select the
transmission mode using the control A . Do not subject the vehicle to ex-
cessive conditions while driving.
As the engine torque is applied
to all four wheels, the condition
of the tyres has a considerable
impact on the performance of
the vehicle.
Ensure that all four tyres are in
good condition.
Avoid driving the vehicle in sandy
or muddy areas or in other areas
in which the wheels could spin.
Spinning the wheels places the
transmission components under
pressure and could cause a se-
rious malfunction.
Do not drive the vehicle through
deep water.
Avoid driving over excessively
u n e v e n t e r r a i n ( r i s k o f s c r a p i n g
under the body or of grounding
on crossing a bridge).
Have your vehicle towed on a
fl a t b e d .
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
" 2 W D " ( 2 w h e e l d r i v e ) m o d e .
If the message "SLOW DOWN" is dis-
played on the instrument panel, let the
transmission cool down then wait for the
display to clear before setting off again.
If "4WD" and "LOCK" are displayed alter-
nately and if "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"
is displayed on the instrument panel, the
system has failed and the safety system
has been activated.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer without
delay.

OPENING THE BONNET
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at the
end of its travel. Check that the bonnet
is properly locked.
From inside: pull the handle A , on the
right-hand side below the door, towards
you.
From outside: move the catch to the
left then raise the bonnet. Secure the strut in its housing to hold
the bonnet open.
Before closing the bonnet, replace the
strut in its clip.

access for checking the various levels
of the engine components.

CHECKING LEVELS CHECKING LEVELS Brake fluid level To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the pres-
sure to drop. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Oil level The reading will only be correct
if the vehicle is on level ground
and the engine has been off for
more than 15 minutes.
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the oil
level indicator on the instrument panel,
or using the dipstick.
Between two oil changes, the con-
sumption should not exceed 0.5 litre
per 600 miles (1,000 km). T h e b r a k e fl u i d l e v e l s h o u l d b e

marks.
If it is not, check the brake pad
wear.
Draining the circuit
Refer to the servicing booklet for details
of the interval for this operation.
Coolant level
The coolant level must be
measured when the engine is
cold and should be between
the "LOW" and "FULL" marks.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated
by the fan. This can operate with the
ignition off.
